Song of Two Hundred Sixty Days Ago: City of Tiny Lites (from Sheik Yerbouti)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzJZ0WNd4cE" data-time="


There's six new versions of "City of Tiny Lites" on Halloween 77 (though two of these versions partially appeared in the Baby Snakes movie). Pretty nice, as I love Frank's guitar solos in this song from this era. No, they're not the epic solos over the Carlos Santana Secret Chord Progression that occurred in this song in the '80s, but the late '70s vamp is great and inspired Frank to play some very rocking, headbanging solos. Unfortunately the solo in this particular version isn't that great - it's ridiculously short.

Speaking of short solos, I read that there was stuff cut out from Frank's "City" solo from the first show on Halloween 77. Not sure why the heck Ahmet and Joe Travers did that - why not just release the six shows uncut?
